About N2Women (Networking Networking Women): N2Women is a discipline-specific community of researchers in the fields of networking and communications. N2Women encourages diversity and aims at fostering connections among under-represented women in this computing sub-field. Founded by Tracy Camp and Wendi Heinzelman, N2Women organized its first meeting at the ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (MobiHoc) on May 24, 2006, in Florence, Italy. Camp and Heinzelman led the community for over 10 years, during which time it grew to over 1,400 members. N2Women organizes events at major conferences of the field where members or non-members can meet and get introduced to the research community.
N2Women is supported by several major professional associations such as ACM SIGCOMM, ACM SIGMOBILE, and IEEE ComSoc, and by major companies such as Facebook. Thanks to this support, N2Women offers fellowships to graduate students and junior researchers to organize N2Women meetings at a selection of flagship conferences in the networking and communications fields. It also organizes full-day professional development workshops with the additional support of CRA-W and the National Science Foundation.
Since 2016, N2Women publishes two lists of 10 inspiring women every year:
- "N2Women: Stars in Computer Networking and Communications" list, published yearly on December 10, Ada Lovelace’s date of birth.
- "N2Women: Rising Stars in Computer Networking and Communications" list, published yearly in the summer.
N2Women also offers a mentoring program and has launched advocacy actions to ensure the greater research community in networking and communications remains welcoming to everyone.
